In  this  thesis  the  design  of  sanitary  sewer 
systea  and  septic  tank  for  Kushville,  we  were 
materially  assisted  by  the  fact  that  the  work 
was  at  that  time  under  actual  design  by  Pro- 
fesser  Phillips,  from  whom  much  valuable  in- 
fornatiou,  as  well  as  most  of  the  fundamental 
data,  was  obtained,.  A  thorough  understanding 
of  the  conditions  existing  in  to  Rushville 
has  rendered  the  v/ork  far  more  satisfactory 
as  well  as  interesting,  and  the  writers  take 
this  opportunity  of  expressing  their  appre- 
ciation to  Professor  Phillips  for  his 
assistance  and  interest  in  the  work* 

Rushville  is  a  small  tov/n  of  perhaps 
four  thousand  inhabitants,  in  the  central 
portion  of  Schayler  County,  on  the  Chicago, 
Burlington!  and  Quincy  Railroad.   The  popu- 
lation is  made  up  of  well  to  do  farmers, 
and  has  been  increasing  slowly  during  the 
last  ten  years.   When  the  idea  of  in^ 
stalling  a  sewer  system  was  first  taken  up, 
it  was  found,  after  careful  consideration 
of  the  resoiirces  of  the  tovm,  that  it  would 
not  be  advisable  to  attempt  to  finance  a

v.'ork  which  would  include  both  sanitary  and 
st'orn  sewers,  as  a  water  supply  system  was 
to  be  included  in  the  work,   Ttien  also  the 
topography  of  the  ground  is  such  that 
natural  water  cources  are  available  for   the 
drainage  of  the  surface  water..  The  merits 
of  various  systems  of  pui'if ications  were 
weighed  and  in  the  end  the  septic  tank 
treatment  v/as  adopted.   The  degree  of  puri- 
fication accomplished  by  this  method  was 
found  to  be  sufficient  and  an  available 
creek  was  at  hand  into  which  the  effluent 
of  the  tank  could  be  discharged,. 

Tl-ie  procedure  adopted  in  the  work  was 
as  follows: 

1,  Field  work.. 

2,  Platts  of  profiles  and  Topograp- 
hical map, 

3,  Layout  and  design  of  pipe  lines.

necessary the  expense  of  time  and  labor  which 
would  be  involved  in  acquiring  a  second  set. 
These  were  transcribed  and  the  work  begun  on

(2)  The  work  was  divided  up  and  profiles 
of  each  street  were  plotted  on  profile  cloth 
suitable  for  binding  in.  permanent  form.  Suf- 
ficient space  was  allowed,  so  that  the  layout 
of  pipe  lines  and  manholes  could  be  shown..

graphic  map  of  the  tovm  was  begun,   A  map 
showing  the  lot  subdivision  of  the  town  was 
obtained  and  on  this  contour  shov/ing  two 
foot  differences  in  elevation  v;ere 
sketched,.  A  tracing  was  then  made,  from 
which  prints  were  obtained  on  which  to 
layout  the  pipe  lines,. 

(3)   It  was  found  t?iat  the  general 
slope  of  the  ground  was  from  the  north- 
west to  the  southeast  section  of  town  and 
so  the  sewers  were  designed  to  begin  out 
on  Macomb   Road  and  run  generally  in  a 
south  and  easterly  direction.   The  main 
lines  were  designed  to  run  south  on  Jackson, 
Ivlonroe  and  Morgan  streets  and  east- on  Clinton, 
combining  finally  at  the  corner  of  Clinton 
and  Llorgan,  the  smaller  lines  all  connecting 
into  these.   In  most  cases  an  eight  inch  sewer. 
has  been  used.  Much  of  this  could  be  of 
smaller  size  but  eight  inches  is  regarded  as 
a  practical  minimum,.

feet,  allowing  an  average  of  four  persons 
to  each  lot,  the  Roosevelt  Avenue  sewer 
would  have  a  discharge  of  236X100-^5,600 
gallons  per  day,  or  2.36  cubic  feet  per 
minute. 

The  velocity  of  sewerage  in  an  S   inch

With  this  velocity  a  discharge  of  3.42 
cubic  feet  per  second  will  be  obtained. 

The  grades  used  on  the  snxaller  branches 
averaged  from  four  to  six  feet  in  a  thousand, 
while  the  main  lines  were  laid  at  a  grade  of 
two  feet  in  a  thousand. 

A  flush  tank  is  used  at  each  dead  end, 
details  of  which  are  shown  in  accompanying 
prints.   It  is  advisable  that  these  tanks 
should  discharge  from  500  to  800  gallons  at 
least  once  in  24  hours  intermittently 
throughout  the  system. 

Man}:ioles  are  placed  at  each  street 
intersections  and  at  intervals,  so  that  the 
distance  between  manh  oles  does  not  exceed 
350  feet.   In  some  instances  lamp  holes  have 
been  used  to  further  aid  in  the  care  and  main^ 
tenance  of  sewers.

HAND  MIXING, 


9,   If  the  concrete  is  mixed  by  hand,  the 
cement  and  aggregate  shall  be  mixed  and  the 
v/ater  added  on  a  tight  platforia  large  enough 
to  provide  space  for  the  partially 
simultaneous  mixing  of  two  batches  of  not 
more  than  one  cubic  yard  each.   The  sand 
and  cement  shall  be  spread  in  their  layers 
and  mixed  dry  until  of  uniform  color.   This 
mixture  may  be  spread  upon  the  layer  of 
stone  or  the  stone  shovelled  upon  it  before 
adding  the  water,  or  it  may  be  made  into 
a  mortar  before  spreading  it  with  the  stone.. 
In  the  former  method  the  materials  shall  be 
turned  at  least  three  times,-  in  addition 
to  the  mixing  of  the  sand  and  cement  already 
mentioned,  and  in  addition  to  the  shovelling 
from  the  platform  to  place  or  into  the 
vehicle  for  transportation,.  In  the  latter 
method,  that  is,  if  the  sand  and  cement  are 
first  made  into  mortar,  the  mass  of  mortar 
and  stone  shall  be  turned  at  least  twice,. 
Whatever  method  is  employed,  the  number 
of  turnings  sliall  be  sufficient  to  produce 
a  resulting  loose  concrete  of  uniform  color 
and  appearance,  with  the  cement  uniform;ly 
distributed  through  the  mass,  the  stones,, 
thoroug?ily  incorporated  into  the  mortar  and 
the  consistency  unifom  throughout,  thus 
producing  a  concrete  uniform  in  color,  and 
homogeneous.

ACHINE  MIXING. 


10,    If  the  concrete  is  inixed  in  a  machine 
mixer,  a  machine  shall  be  selected  into  which 
the  materials,  including  the  water,  can  be 
precisely  and  regularly,  proportioned,  and 
which  will  produce  a  concrete  of  uniform,  con- 
sistency and  color  with  the  stones  and  water 
thoroughly  nixed  and  incorporated  with  the 
mortar, . 


CONSISTENCY, 


11,   The  mixture  shall  be  wet  ofi- 
mushy,  so  soft  that  it  will  flow  when)  agitated, 
but  not  so  wet  as  to  produce  a  separation  of  the 
materials  in  transferring  to  the  work,. 


PLACING   CONCRETE. 


12,    concrete  shall  be  conveyed  to  place 
in  such  a  manner  that  there  shall  be  no  dis- 
tinct, separation  of  the  different  ingredients, 
or  in  cases  where  such  separation  inadvertently 
occurs,  the  concrete  shall  be  remixed  before

placing.   It  shall  bo  placed  in  tlie  work 
inmiediately  after  mixing  and  deposited  and 
removed  or  agitated  liy  suitable  tools  in 
such  a  manner,  as  to  produce  thoroughly 
compact  concrete  of  maximuiai  density.   No 
concrete  shall  be  ple.ced  until  the  re- 
inforcing has  been  placed  and  firmly  secured 
by  wiring  or  other  method  to  prevent  dis- 
placenent..  Concrete  shall  b.B  frequently 
wet  for  several  days  to  prevent  too  rapid 
drying  out,.  Concrete  shall  not  be  placed  in 
water,  unless  UTiavoidable. ,  ?/here  concrete 
must  be  placed  under  water,  unusual  care 
must  be  taken  to  prevent  the  cement  from: 
being  floated  away,.  This  usually  can  be 
accomplished  in  still  water  by  placing 
the  concrete  through  a  large  pipe  or  tube,  or 
by  means  of  a  bottom  dump  concrete  bucket.. 

Before  placing  fresh  concrete,  all 
shavings  and  debris  of  every  nature  must  be 
removed  and  the  old  old  concrete  surface 
thoroughly  cleaned  from  all  dirt  tind  scum 
or  laitance  and  drenched  v;ith  v/ater. 
Noticeable  vaids  or  stone  pockets  dis- 
covered v/hen  the  forms  are  removed, ,  shall 
be  filled  immediately  with  mortar  mixed 
in  the  same  proportions  as  the  mortar  in  the 
concrete,.  The  lines  and  grades  of  the 
completed  concrete  shall  accurately  conform 
to  the  place  annexed  to  and  forming  a  part 
of  the  specifications,.

or  deposited  at  a  freezing  temperature, 
unless  special  precautions  are  taken  to 
avoid  the  use  of  materials  containing  frost 
and  to  provide  means  for  preventing  the  concrete 
from  freezing  after  being  placed  in  position 
and  until  it  has  thoroughly  hardened 


FORMS. 


15,    Tlie  lumber  for  the  forms  and  the 
design  of  the  forms  shall  be  adapted  to  the
